What's going on, man? Tech problems as usual, huh? Hey, we're we're figuring this out. Back in back in like 2018, I started streaming and I was making content about Cleveland Browns football. And I I had it all figured out. I was using OBS. I was live streaming every day. And then the Lord convicted me to like stop wasting my time talking about these NFL football players. And I sh I shut it down.
I stopped my pop popular podcast back then. So now I'm trying to pick it all back up again and I feel like I Oh well, what's going on? But how are you, my friend? I'm
doing good, man. How's the weather down there in uh Tana?
Windy. It it's been um we've had these unusual like thirty-two mile per hour gusts yesterday. Today is like twenty-three mile per hour winds. I and I haven't dialed into like the specific amount because I'm going golfing. So the wind affects the townfall.
Pretty windy town in general, isn't it? Because you're right on the you're right on the coast. Is that right? I don't even know the I don't know South Florida. I'm panhandle.
Yeah, I I I um I it there's there's a lot of water around us. You have the Gulf of America, you have the Tampa Bay. There's there's all kind of wind.
Yeah. I don't know what's going on in in Pensacola. Megan yesterday, or I guess it was a few, it was probably a week ago. She was like, You think we could put our uh winter clothes up? And I was like, I who am I, the weather man? I don't know. Like and then I I said sure. And then she put them all up and then the next day it was like, you know, fifty degrees or whatever, which doesn't sound cold to you northerners, but that's Pensacolians, fifty degrees. We need a jacket, man.

into becoming a better businessman.
Dude, you've really been an ideal client because you kind of came into this uh curious and ready to learn, and you've always been consistent with showing up with the meetings that we do monthly. And I've liked watching you go from just kind of being able to work really hard to now you can kind of talk the language of business, you know? And I like you're always like, What's my gross profit? What's my profit? You you ask all these, you know, numbers now before you didn't know any about that stuff. Now you can read the profit and loss, the cash. cash flow statement, the balance sheet. You can you see errors really fast. You know, if we if we made a mistake and we need to correct them real quick, like you pointed out.
